'This evil should be called out': Former Fox News host slams 'witches' for Kirk’s death

Megyn Kelly claims Erika Kirk, widow of the slain MAGA influencer Charlie Kirk, was left “genuinely rattled” by a tongue-in-cheek article by a journalist claiming to have paid a witch to place a curse on her late husband, according to The Independent.

“Erika and Charlie Kirk heard about these curses, and that news genuinely rattled Erika, in particular. She knew Christian teaching on the subject, she loved Charlie, absolutely, and she was scared when she heard of the curses Jezebel had culled up,” Kelly said Tuesday on her SiriusXM show.

The story was published by the feminist publication on September 8, just two days before Kirk, 31, was shot and killed while speaking at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah.

Jezebel took the story down at the news of Kirk’s murder and issued a statement denouncing political violence, but not before the Kirks had heard of it and become upset, said Kelly.

The Independent reports Kelly “wrestled” with whether to bring up the “out of left field” story, but ultimately decided to proceed in the interest of “public censure.”

Kelly told listeners that the Jezebel contributor had reached out to several self-identifying witches via the e-commerce platform Etsy about the possibility of hiring them to place a hex on Kirk to give him pimples or some other issue.

“I just want him to wake up every morning with an inexplicable zit. I want his podcast microphone to malfunction every time he hits ‘record’. I want his blue blazers to suddenly all be one size too small. I want one of his socks to be always sliding down his foot. I want his thumb to grow too big to tweet. To ruin his day with the collective feminist power of the Etsy coven would be my life’s greatest joy,” the writer said — after assuring readers that she wanted “to make it clear, I’m not calling on dark forces to cause him harm.”

Kelly demanded both Jezebel and Etsy issue an apology to Erika Kirk for “introducing this awfulness into her beautiful family,” and she advised Jezebel to close down in shame and identify the author of the offending piece. She also told Etsy to get back to “arts and crafts and jewelry” rather than platforming black magic.

“Who would do such a vile thing? Jezebel, that’s who, and unbelievably, Etsy. And the people behind this evil should be called out,” said Kelly.
